My Project

On April 8th, 2024, North America will experience a solar eclipse. Even better, the eclipse will happen during the school day!

We would love to give the students the ability to view and study the eclipse with solar eclipse glasses.

To do this we need ISO certified solar eclipse glasses for all of the 4th graders.

We also want to make an entire day of learning, solar eclipse themed, with worksheets, writing prompts, treats, and more. Please consider contributing to this unique experience for our students!
